Life Is Just A Dream™

After watching Microsoft, Nintendo, and Sony's E3 Press Conference's i feel as though this years E3 was a weak showing for the hardcore gamer, it felt like MS/Sony was all about the Motion controller's even after Sony kinda failed at the Sixaxis as i have yet to see a game take full advantage of it and it work!

No this year was all about both company's going about how they defined that area of gaming, how they are the only place you can get these kind of precise controls.... well let me tell you as a gamer, I DONT GIVE A FUCK! (well i do but i'll explain)

So ill give a run down of each Press Conference;

Microsoft's:

So now we know the name of Project Natal...... KINETIC! and even though i dont think the name is bad, i wasn't that impressed by the game. OK so we know the MTV's Dance Central is gonna sell loads, just as Your shape fitness game is gonna do the same, see we is all for this but c'mon MS what about all the other game's you could of shown?



There was no Big Wow moments at all, OK there was a bit with gears of war 3/Black op's. But still it wasn't show stopping stuff! Last years was way better and i have to say MS WTF was the circus thing about hmmm as that was a load of crap. for us we could see where MS was going with there Press Conference they was targeting the Casual gamer, which is a good business move as you can see by the Wii sale's and game sale's that these kinda game's do sell well!

Also there is now a Xbox 360 slim? which looks lovely as hell but is it gonna be a decent model this time round and is it gonna be any less quite (not that bothers us considering we have our TV's quite loud) well atleast MS put built in Wi-fi into it!

Its just a shame MS didn't show other big game's or there future plans for hardcore gamers, if we're honest we feel a bit let down with MS this yr as ok we now know the name for Project Natal (Kinetic) but still there is no price point for it. But overall MS's Conference was for them to push Kinetic this year im just hoping we dont see a Master Chief @ the Common wealth games, or Master Chief @ MS sports!

well lets hope MS dont forget about us Hardcore gamers that's all we're gonna say.

Nintendo;

We cant be that pissed at Nintendo as they have all ways had Motion controls for the get go, and it seems that there just add better games for it. We did like the showing of the new Zelda: Skyward Sword! even if the controls did seem to lag a bit or not respond at all, but the games that they did show where ones that where interesting, As the Metriod game looked intriguing.



and The new 3DS game Icarus boy looked really good, but again the rest was typical Motion Control games! we didn't feel that Nintendo was offering anything new or a Must have even Zelda was a maybe after the control problems they had on stage.

Sony;

Let me get this out of the way, We have no interest in MOVE what so ever as its over priced offer's nothing that the Wii cant offer (apart from HD graphics) as for us Sony's Move is the wii-mote and Nun-chuck really. The game Sorcerer was cool and all but it was like a wanna be harry potter! and as for the rest of the Move game's we couldn't care less or that old games are getting its support,



but Sony did do something that made us happy, they showed Metal Twisted, Infamous 2, Sly Series (Re-Releasing) now we all think Kevin Butler is a funny guy but having a dig at MS/Nintendo about there Motion Controls just show's how petty Sony is, hell they even Dig at Apple and the I-phone/Pad. I mean dig all you want Sony but FACT is the sale's figures speak for them self!

and lets also be honest and say the PSP-Go is............ for us a waste of time, so we not even gonna bother!

As you can tell we wasnt impressed that much by what we saw, we do see the potential of these's new motion controls but i think its a way off before hardcore gamers are gonna jump on the band wagon!

Here are some MP video's of Uncharted 2, my Ps3 did crash during the recording of both of them!

Being a Transformer's is nearly every kids dream, and after one good movie and one shit game, and a OK sequel to that game (Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen) now High Moon Studio's are releasing Transformers: War For Cybertron, And they have released a demo on the Xbox Live Marketplace and from what we played it was fun and better than the other games that have been released.

High Moon Studio's is doing something else other Dev's have missed and not done..... Not doing a movie tie-in game, which is one of the best things they could of done!



The Demo comes with 2 game mode's; Team Deathmatch, Conquest and only 2 Class's to pick from, but before you go into any game you can customize your character class from different weapons to Abilities etc... and more are unlocked as you progress (or the more kills/capture's you get) think Modern Warfare 2/Battlefield;Bad Company 2 and you'll understand what we mean as you earn XP for each Kill/Capture and in doing so you level up unlocking different abilities, weapons, upgrades and there even challenges to complete you can even select Regional/Worldwide for your matchmaking!



These Xp Unlocks can change how you play the game and mode, its just a shame you can only unlock certain things though that might be down to that you can only level up to 'Level 3' but it does get us thinking as to what the full game can offer as we could see so many opportunities for things like "Oh man wish i could be a jet and fly over here and cover my team or wouldn't it be cool if had a shield to block incoming fire while i defend this point" we did have so many moments where we felt like we was in a war against the Decepiticons/Autobots, in short we actually felt like we was a Transformer!



High Moon Studio's is on to something here as the game is fun to play you can tell there's gonna be lot on offer from the full game by just playing the demo, which makes us wonder will the Single player part be as good as we hope it will? As we have never seen how The War started or even much of Cybertron for that matter, we do hope HMS dont mess it all up! well we can say the MP demo was a nice taste of thing's to come, as in some ways it's kind of hard to put into word's some of the moments we had; Like driving at the enemy shooting then transforming and sliding across the floor while still shooting like one of the scene's from the movie!






Quick look at some of the Options/Xp Unlocks etc...

Red Dead Redemption - Review

For those who want the quick summary: Red Dead: shooting, killing, open world, gang fighting, hogtie-ing, dynamite exploding, cougar mauling, all around western fun.

The single player has a great story which develops at the players on pace as you can either just do the main missions or you can wander around completing the challenges such as the master hunter challenge which requires the player to hunt various animals which get progressively more difficult as you complete each one, or help out someone in need (or just shoot them and say you did). The game has a good moral tool as you can either be the good cowboy who has learnt his ways, or just go round doing whatever you want whenever you want, but, for those who want to do both, you can be the honourable citizen as per usual, and purchase a fine piece of quality cloth to wear as your bandana, preventing any changes in honour while wearing it, and so you can feel free to murder endlessly, hijack the train and steal your good fellows money, without the threat of people knowing it was you.

The main story is worth doing as well, as you do unlock more of the map as the game progresses, as your character is not allowed to enter some rejoins due to his situation. Doing missions and gaining/losing honour also gives more items in the store, and will be cheaper depending on the seller and your honour (thieves landing, obvious from the name, don’t give you discount if you’re a good guy). Some of the characters you meet are highly entertaining, such as the popular crowd favourite Irish, who is a drunken arms dealer who just loves to get you into trouble while conveniently avoiding the whole fight, so the story does make you want to continue, unlike some games, where you reach certain points and it all seems a bit tedious. Mexico is an interesting place to get to in the story, as there seem to be allot of people on different sides, and of course there is you, who just wants to get your job done.

There is also what is called ‘dead eye’, which in single player recharges over time or with kills or sleep, which slows times and lets you target enemies in specific areas and kill them more efficiently. And in multiplayer you just enter a focused mode which also allows better targeting, but does not obviously slow time, however this is only built up by killing other or getting a dead eye restoration box lying around at the various camp sites that spawn randomly.

As not to ruin the story to much, I’ll move on to the other main aspect of the game, the multiplayer. This is where it really is up to you what you do, the whole map is open, there are gang hideouts to be taken over, player vs. player options to have capture the bag and deathmatch where you fight in one of the many towns in the game, which can either be done from in the free roam, or you can select the option from the ingame multiplayer menu. Or, and this is where I like to play, you can just kill the other players in free roam just for the hell of it. For example, there are challenges in multiplayer like single player where you kill animals, pick plants, etc. One challenge is to become public enemy, which is where you murder enough people (non-player chars) to get a wanted level bounty of $1000. Now people who get this in the free roam I’m in, best hide very quickly, because I like to hunt them down like dogs and murder them repeatedly, as the one challenge is to gain a bounty of $5000, which I can tell you, is not very easy in a public free roam, where all the other 15 players in the game can come kill you. So I just go on the basis that anyone who becomes public enemy, is someone going for that challenge. If you are doing this however, or a gang hideout, you can have your posse, a group of up to 8 people, help you out by protecting you or just killing the gang, so it’s not the end of the world if you see a fellow player having pot shots at you from afar, just get a posse member to go waste his ass. At the beginning of every game mode in the match-making type system there is always a shoot out, which is great fun as either your team shoots an enemy team, or in free for all you have to chose your target carefully to make sure you live afterwards. After this is completed the game continues, so for team games having players alive able to run after the bag area or run to pin down the enemy team is obviously a key advantage, even if they just get one of the good guns on the map, it’s something stopping your opponent from winning.

Now as for the guns, horses etc. You have a loadout for your level which is always there whenever you start up the multiplayer, but, you can also pick up guns to use as long as you are in multiplayer (even if you move into other free roams or into the outfitter) from other players, or there is usually a gun in one of the gang hideouts you can grab or from the police as they have guns you only get at higher levels. Horses (or some of the other animals which I won’t say for spoilers) are unlocked as you level up, and they become faster, stronger etc. Levelling up isn’t that difficult either, as challenges give you experience, and doing a gang hideout well, will give you about 1000 experience, so about three hideouts from level twenty gets you levelled up nicely, obviously at higher levels it take a bit more. You also unlock player skins as you level, and titles which hover over you for other players to see. Be careful not to get mauled by a cougar though, always listen carefully for the animal sounds, remember, you have a gun, use it!

Well I hope this all makes you want to play what I think is one of the best games so far this year, just remember though, no one can hear you scream in the middle of nowhere, keep your trigger finger at the ready, and always on your gun...

• Pros, Cons are the occasional aiming fuck up and the fact that its difficult to see somethings to shoot. im in mexico in the story, im level 21 online but i met a second prestige
